50 Mile Ride Morning Prep

Saturday and Sunday I reserve for long runs.  40-50 miles; so I need a little preparation.  I enjoy working the night before to prepare for a smooth ride.  The night before I:

  • Check the weather and get out appropriate clothing.  Its been cold, so I wear black thermal underwear.  Thermal underwear are cheap ($26.00) Compared to their more official bike gear counter part ($120.00).
  • Fill air in the tires and check pressure.
  • Do a quick sprint up the street to make sure shoes are fitting.
  • Check the speedo.
  • Clean water bottles.
  • Fill water bottles.
  • Prepare a light breakfats, ready to go
  • Grind beans for fresh coffee in the morning. (I like a French Press)
  • Charge battery for cell phone and Ipod
  • Make sure I have allen wrenches and a spare tire tube

Sounds like a lot but I gets the morning moving.
